RODENSTOCK Perfalit ColorMatic IQ with SPP 2 coating - the most "smart" glasses

Some of the most complex and functional eyeglass lenses on the market are suitable not only for correcting eyesight, but also for complex eye protection from virtually everything that could hurt them in any way. Lightweight and safe polymer glass in production is covered with many layers with different properties - and each of them has its own advantages.

Pros:

• The effect of the chameleon - the glass is darkened in the sun to 85% and become almost transparent in the room;
• Protection against ultraviolet and blue computer radiation;
• The presence of antireflection coating with anti-glare effect - for those who are driving;
• Infrared filter that reduces the thermal effect of sunlight on the eyes;
• Water and dirt-repellent surface of the lenses, on which even the dust does not sit down;
• Increased resistance of the multi-layer coating to scratching.

Minuses:

• Not available with an optical power above + 4D.

SILHOUETTE TMA Must Collection 2017 (Series 5515) - Super Light Invisible Glasses

A new incarnation of the most popular and light points in a titanium frame has replaced the series, produced without significant changes over the past 20 years. Paints were added to the case, and the shape of the lenses became more interesting and diverse.

Pros:

• 7 different lens formats - each comes in two sizes;
• 12 shades of ears and bridges;
• A record low weight of 7-10 grams (depending on the size of the glasses) - such glasses on the face are almost not felt;
• Do not slip from the nose and do not want to fall with a sharp movement;
• Easily bending in any direction the arms themselves regain their correct shape.

Minuses:

• Only for the frame you will have to pay no less than 15-16 thousand, as much as you need to put in the lenses;
• It is difficult to find commercially available glasses from +8 diopters;
• The absence of hinges on the arms (due to which they bend so effectively), over time, can lead to breakage of thin ears at the attachment point to the lenses.

HOYA Sensity - glasses with photochromic lenses

Chameleon glasses, which change shade depending on the lighting, can be easily adjusted to any conditions indoors or outdoors. They may shade or become completely transparent. It's nice that within the framework of this photochromic series, you can choose lenses with any optical effect - up to progressive ones that smoothly change the focus when looking at objects of different distances.

Pros:

• 3 shades of tint to choose from - bronze brown, gray and green;
• Smooth, but fast enough change of shade - darkening occurs in the first 30-90 seconds when entering a bright light;
• Well protect the eyes from UV radiation - both direct and reflected;
• High degree of blackout up to 3 categories, like ordinary sunglasses;
• The possibility of additional application of anti-reflective coating, which improves visibility in the dark.

Minuses:

• Some types of photochromic lenses are poorly cleaned, and they themselves serve only 2-3 years.

ZEISS DriveSafe Lenses - ideal glasses for car owners

A large family of spectacle lenses for safe driving takes into account not only the features of road lighting, but also eye fatigue, which inevitably occurs at the end of the working day or during a long stay at the wheel. Zeiss glasses improve visibility at any time of the day and at the same time absorb unnecessarily bright light from xenon or LED headlights of oncoming cars. They are produced in the form of monofocal or progressive lenses for installation in the frame.

Pros:

• The resistance of glasses to scratches;
• The lack of tinting does not violate color perception and allows you to better distinguish objects on the road;
• The bright headlights of oncoming cars do not blind the eyes;
• The presence of an antireflection coating that allows you to better see objects in low light conditions (at night, at dusk, in fog);
• Antistatic effect of the upper layer, due to which dust does not settle on the lenses;
• In progressive lenses, the eyes do not have to rebuild when changing the direction of gaze from the road to the devices and back, so they are less tired.

Minuses:

• They are very afraid of overheating - if you leave the glasses in the cabin in the sun, the antireflection coating will simply crack and will not “work”;
• The price is about 18 thousand for each lens - and this is without taking into account the cost of work on the manufacture of the required size of glasses and their installation in the frame.

ESSILOR Eyezen - unloading glasses for gadget lovers

New generation of computer glasses designed for comfortable and secure communication with modern digital technology. They reduce the negative impact of the glow of the display, as well as prevent eyestrain when reading small print from the screen. Their only drawback is that they do not correct serious vision problems, but only prevent their appearance.

Pros:

• Always give a clear picture;
• Accommodation support - smooth increase of optical power while focusing on close objects (smartphone, tablet);
• They reflect the harmful blue-violet glow, passing only the useful blue spectrum;
• Suitable for people of any age up to 50 years - you just need to choose the right category of lenses.

Minuses:

• A small optical power, compensating only age-related reduction of vision (from +0.4 to +0.85 diopters).
